- Description
- Progress towards practical long-term preservation
seems to be stalled. Preservationists cannot afford specially
developed technology, but must exploit what is created for the
marketplace. Economic and technical facts suggest that most
preservation ork should be shifted from repository institutions to
information producers and consumers. Prior publications describe
solutions for all known conceptual challenges of preserving a
single digital object, but do not deal with software development or
scaling to large collections. Much of the document handling
software needed is available. It has, however, not yet been
selected, adapted, integrated, or deployed for digital
preservation. The daily tools of both information producers and
information consumers can be extended to embed preservation
packaging without much burdening these users. We describe a
practical strategy for detailed design and implementation. Document
handling is intrinsically complicated because of human sensitivity
to communication nuances. Our engineering section therefore starts
by discussing how project managers can master the many pertinent
details.
